Silent Hill HD Collection and Silent Hill: Homecoming join Xbox backward compatibility
Try to escape.

Today, Larry Hryb, Director of Programming for Xbox Live, announced that Xbox 360 games Silent Hill HD Collection and Silent Hill: Homecoming are now backward compatible on Xbox One. Both games aren't the heavy-hitters fans were hoping for, but they're still a lot of fun.
Backward compatibility opens Xbox One to a huge variety of games, spanning three generations of Microsoft's consoles. Despite hardware differences, it remains an outstanding feature, allowing a select library of older games to be played on Xbox One. While the majority of them are Xbox 360 titles, there are also some original Xbox games in there.

Nice, I never got around to playing Homecoming, now just to see if it's available digitally or not because it's really hard to find. Aaaaand, nope, it isn't. Rats.

Why they used the 360 version of SH 2 and 3? The original versions are way better.

I'm going to say it's because it's backward compatibility support, and not a ported game.
